I’ve got a Dell Inspiron 1545 and the colours on the screen are inverted! This happens in the bios and continues through to windows. Dell diagnostics seem to show the displays working OK but theres a few colours on the test colour strip that appear a bit darker. When it plugs into an external monitor its fine so I’m assuming the graphics card is OK. I’ve replaced the hard drive, reseated the RAM and installed windows 7 updated all the drivers and bios with still no avail. Also unplugged the monitor to motherboard connector and cleaned it.
Ive run out of things to testdo! Im a PC technician so please feel free to give a technical explanation ix
Thanks guys

If it happens in Bios it has nothing to do with the OS. I am a little confused about the test strip showing darker colors, are they inverted, or no? I've never heard of a screen failing in this way, but theoreticaly the board that tells the LCD what color to put up could be damaged. This is the board on the back of the screen itself. A similar situation when a failed LCD puts up a single pixel line.
